We have once again reviewed the cost of class handout reproduction and found the figures to be astronomical. In the past, a 300 page limit per enrolled student per course of class materials handed out without charge was established. To a large extent, these numbers have been observed. In numerous instances, however, materials distributed far exceeded this constraint. Where charges for copy exceed the given limit based on 3 cents per page, the excess will be charged to your unrestricted account.

This is to remind you that where a Reader including extensive class notes is involved a master should be sent to the Bookstore. They will reproduce it and sell it directly to the students. That way no extra secretarial time is involved. In some instances where it is more convenient to sell the notes directly, they should be sold at cost since it is not our intent to profit from the sale of notes.

We would also like to take this opportunity to call your attention to the fact that the Copyright laws as outlined in the University Memo of October 1993 must be observed. A copy of this memo is included for review.
